Jane Austen drabble: Forbidden Affections [Darcy/Bingley, general]
Title: Forbidden Affections
Author: celandineb
Fandom: Jane Austen
Pairing: Darcy/Bingley
Rating: general
Summary: Such affection may be forbidden, but Bingley doesn't think about it.
Note: Drabble written for lesyeuxverts00 for holiday 2007.
If Bingley ever considered it, he knew that such affection was forbidden. A man of his age and means should find himself a suitable bride and settle down, yet he found it difficult to consider seriously the charms of any woman. He behaved appropriately, as one did not wish to stand out amongst one's companions, but when he smiled and bowed at a woman, it was Darcy whom he saw in his mind's eye, Darcy whose hand he bowed over and pressed to his lips – and later that night it was Darcy whose embraces would carry him out of himself.
